Astrid’s POV“Dad, are you serious?!!!” Asha’s loud voice welcomed us as Alpha Theron, and I left his office. “You’re seriously going to entrust our Pack to an outsider for two more years?! Why can’t you just command Beta Alek to go back instead of letting her be in charge of his duties?!” Asha ran after her father as she yelled at him.When I glanced at her, she secretly flashed me a murderous glare, showing how much she hated me. I only let out a deep breath as I averted my gaze, acting like I didn’t see her glaring at me. Alpha Theron remained silent and kept on walking as his daughter confronted her. With the way that Asha is acting right now, she deserves to get a death sentence. Even though Alpha Theron is her father, he is an Alpha first. Questioning his decisions is equivalent to rebellion. Asha is so driven by her anger that she can’t hear her words. She has no idea that she sounded like she wanted to be the Alpha instead.Luckily for her, her father loves and cares for h
Astrid’s POV“I’m glad that Nova is having the best time of her life,” Drystan spoke after he had read the letter. I watched as he carefully folded back the letter and placed everything back in the envelope. “She said she’s going to leave to look for her mate, but she’s having too much good time by herself. She’s not going to find her mate if she just keeps on relaxing and enjoying herself,” I replied as I took back the envelope and tucked it back inside the pocket. “How about you? Did she send you any letter?” I asked him, wanting to see what photo she had sent him. I always felt unsatisfied with the single photos she sent me. I wish she would add more pictures. I told her to do that the last time I wrote back to her, but she still only sent one photo. “It was just a very short letter. You know, she was just talking about her trip in Hawaii,” Drystan answered as he continued eating. “How about a photo? Did she sent you one? Did you bring it with you?” I asked him eagerly, plead
Two Years Later…Alpha Theron’s POVI stared out the window, my eyes scanning the expansive territory of the Shadowfang Pack. Whenever I get burned out from work, I always look out through my window to remind myself to whom I am working. Seeing the whole Pack from above always refreshes my mind, knowing that this familiar sight that I’m looking at all depends on me. If it wasn’t for me, they wouldn’t grow like this. They need me, and that’s what motivates me to continue in my duty as an Alpha. Suddenly, a voice cut through the silence, a familiar voice that I haven’t heard for three years. “Greetings, Alpha.”My head snapped around, the wolf within me instantly alert. There, framed in the doorway, stood the imposing figure of Beta Alek. I felt a surge of both relief and trepidation — it had been three long years since I’d laid eyes on him. Finally, he’s back. Slowly, I turned to face him. My expression betrayed nothing, a mask of calm authority concealing the torrent of emotions
Alpha Theron’s POV“Answer me, Alek. Do you believe in this book that Astrid is a monster?!” I demanded him. When I read the book, it kept repeating the words monster, abomination, and danger. In the first part, it seemed like a harmless book just sharing information with the reader. It contains what an Almega is like, an offspring of an Alpha and an Omega, and it shares how an Almega is different from a normal werewolf. It is also written in the book that Astrid’s condition was normal. It’s normal for an Almega to be born as a pure-blooded Omega without sharing any characteristics with her father. However, things made a twisted turn as I reached the end of the book. The book couldn’t stop talking about how important it is to get rid of an Almega if you see one. An Almega is an abomination. An Alpha and an Omega shouldn’t have any relationship with each other, more so, have an offspring. An Almega will destroy the balance in Packs and bring chaos to the werewolves once it has awa
Andros’s POVI steeled myself as I made my way through the silent halls of the Packhouse with the monthly report of our Pack business weighing in my hand. My heart pounded nervously inside my chest, thinking of how I was going to present all these to him while hoping that he wouldn’t be disappointed with me this time. Lost in my thoughts of preparation and mustering my confidence, I rounded the corner, heading towards my father’s office. And that’s when I saw him — Beta Alek, whom I hadn’t seen for three long years. A genuine smile tugged at my lips as our eyes met, a warmth spreading through me at the unexpected encounter. “Andros, it’s good to see you,” Beta Alek spoke, returning my smile and giving a respectful bow of his head. “How have you been? And how is the business faring?” I let out a sigh. I was just on my way to visit my father and explain exactly what was going on with the business. The weight of my father’s mounting demands is evident in my expression. “You kno
Andros’s POVI stood in front of my father with my head lowered and my fists clenched tightly to my side as I waited for what his reaction was going to be. I had just finished giving my presentation and showing him everything. Now, he is meticulously going through the data I have printed for him to see. The seconds ticked by, the silence in the room deafening, and I could feel the tension building, coiling tighter with every passing moment. I flinched, my heart pounding in my chest, when he suddenly slammed the papers down onto the desk. The documents scattered, and I swallowed hard, bracing myself for the onslaught of criticism I knew was coming. “Two percent?” My father’s voice thundered, the anger and disappointment lacing his words. “You are already proud of that after all the resources poured into this venture, this is the best that you can do?” I opened my mouth, desperate to explain, to plead my case, but the words got caught in my throat as his piercing gaze silenced m
Andros’s POVMy father’s gaze sharpened when he looked at me after I asked so many questions. “You don’t have to worry about those things. I already have everything all planned out,” he answered me, making me fall silent. “Everyone is already working together to prepare for the event. Since we are going to introduce Astrid as a part of the family, everything needs to be grand and special,” my father spoke excitedly. His eyes were glinting with excitement; he had already made up his mind about this. I clenched my jaw as I tried to remain expressionless when I heard my father’s words. I don’t want him to know that I don’t like this decision he made.It was so sudden. What made him change his mind? The plan was to let Astrid leave once Beta Alek was back, just as Astrid wanted. Why is he keeping Astrid with us instead?My heart sank when my thoughts made an unexpected turn. What if my father also changes his mind in the future? What if he suddenly chooses Astrid as the future Luna of
Astrid’s POVI stared into the mirror, feeling exhausted and sleepy, yet the makeup perfectly covered the weariness etched into my face. The bags under my eyes caused by the stress of being an acting Beta was gone, covered by whatever cosmetic they used on me. It’s like they worked magic on me. I looked fresh and beautiful, like I wasn’t from a long day of duty. I smoothed my hands over the soft, velvety fabric of my dress, which was sent to me by Alpha Theron just yesterday. He told me to wear this dress for today’s special banquet. I wanted to deny the invitation, and I think he knew that which is why he sent me this dress along with the invitation, so it would be hard for me to say no. The dress looked so good on me, though. The deep burgundy hue accentuated my graceful figure. It’s evident that it was custom-tailored just for me. I have no idea what the banquet is for. I heard nobody is invited, just Alpha Theron and then my half-siblings. The banquet is solely for the famil
